Lewis Hamilton Signs Ferrari Contract for 2025 F1 Season, Will Leave Mercedes
Legendary Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season and join Ferrari.
Mercedes and Hamilton confirmed the split Thursday.
“I have had an amazing 11 years with this team and I’m so proud of what we have achieved together, Hamilton said. “Mercedes has been part of my life since I was 13 years old. It’s a place where I have grown up, so making the decision to leave was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. But the time is right for me to take this step and I’m excited to be taking on a new challenge. I will be forever grateful for the incredible support of my Mercedes family, especially Toto for his friendship and leadership and I want to finish on a high together. I am 100% committed to delivering the best performance I can this season and making my last year with the Silver Arrows, one to remember.”
Ferrari confirmed the agreement with Hamilton shortly after the announcement of his impending Mercedes exit.
According to 90minsNews, Hamilton signed a two-year, £100 million contract last summer to stay with Mercedes through 2025, but the team confirmed he exercised an out after the 2024 season.
Hamilton has been a Mercedes driver for the past 11 years.
